I hit BM Saturday morning, so about 98% leveled the "old"way, and was full Champ geared without ever seeing a token. I have since opened 3 BM bags with no BM token, no surprise, may never see one. It takes 1k mercs and WZ's to buy a BM, so really don't see how gear is being given to anyone. My experience has been the better player will win most of the time regardless of gear, everything else being equal gear can make the difference, seems about right to me.
